Where the Buffalo Roam
30 x  40  inches Oil on Canvas.
Available Paintings by Laurie Pace 

This could have been painful...but it was definitely paint-ful.

This piece was a special painting for someone in Colorado that is a huge supporter, alumnae of University of Colorado at Boulder...and they wanted buffalo.  The first paint was aimed at several landscape photos shared with me and the idea of wanting a sunrise in the painting.  Even after the discussion of painted pulls go up and down and landscapes go sideways, I proceeded joyfully with lush colors and thick paint.

Where the Buffalo Roam Painting by Laurie Pace Music "Glorious" by Chris Tomlin from Laurie Pace on Vimeo.

 As you can see from the slideshow... the painting changed to the more contemporary pull painting of my horses but this screw up was mine... those buffalo look like the UT longhorns... gotta head in again and scrap.
If you look really close in the slide of the last scrap you see the words "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

 After a long conversation with the definite choice of the colors in an older painting from 2006 era of buffalo with browns and golds... the canvas was scraped a second time and this third painting started. 

 In life we are constantly growing from the layers of experiences we have. This slideshow shows you how it works in the studio. The base of the canvas was painted and then the bible verses were painted on... and then the paint began... and went on and on for weeks. But each time the foundation of those verses remain a stable in the composition.

 The old painting was this one below, era 2006 -2007.


I trust in the foundation of the Lord in my life. He continues to see me through the good and the bad times and the times that I am so scared I know I can only turn to Him for comfort. 
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9 KJV

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting.

EXHAUSTED Woman Figurative Oil Painting, Art Deco Painting, Art Abstract Painting, Women in Kitchen Oil Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
